AI Thread Summary
To solve the problem involving the reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2, the molar ratio from the balanced equation is essential for determining the mass of CO2 reacted and the volume of O2 produced. Given that 3.0 moles of H2O are reacting, the molar ratios indicate that 3 moles of CO2 will also react. The mass of CO2 can be calculated using its molar mass. However, to find the volume of O2 gas formed, additional information such as temperature and pressure is necessary, as these factors influence gas volume. Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurately solving the problem.

This is a pretty strightforward problem.
Since you have your balanced chemical reaction you have your molar ratio.
That is what is always going to get you from one amount of a certain substance to the amount of the other.
therefore, since it is a molar ratio, you need to find the amount in moles of a given substance thati s reacting.
Lucky for you, you knwo already that 3 moles of water are reacting.
using the molar ratio provided by the reaction, you can get both the amount in moles of CO2 and O2. Using your molar mass of CO2 you can get grams.
How ever for the volume of O2 gas I am pretty sure oyu need more information... like a concentration or a pressure. For instance, a greater volume of O2 will be produced in the same reaction at a higher temperature.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
